Maybe I'm just being ignorant or your eyesight is amazing - I can't see it. But why does the local news have to use the same sofas as Newsround? It looks painful to sit on...
TV sofas are always uncomfortable to sit on.
Not the points west one!
Not the Midlands Today one either, but the Central News one , Ouch.

Inspector, I'm sure someone at LN will hire you right away. You sure are trying your best to sell the idea that nonsense such as 'research into audience perception' is a very important process in creating news titles.
Well of course it is... what happens if the public don't lke the end result... or what the designers and managerment have missed was that something in it which resembles a big purple cock!?
In terms of semiotics you can go very wrong indeed and be stuck with something dreadful for 5 years. The London 2012 logo for example... would they have gone with the 'Lisa Simpson giving head' idea if their focus group reaction had been the same as the publics?
I'm sure executives have been wining and dining each other for months of in-depth meetings on shades of red, and the like, whilst thousands of BBC employees continue to fear for their jobs.
£500,000 is nothing in TV terms. I doubt much 'wining and dining' has gone on for that money.
Utter nonsense, and its about time someone realised that news can be equally as effective and authoritive in a plain studio with titles created by the actual programme producers.
Need proof that they are capable? Look at BBC Arabic.
I suspect that re-designing the whole fo BBC News would have been a tall order for the regular designers who are occupied with day to day programmes!
The Arabic titles are quite nice but it's obvious that not a great deal of thought has gone into them, they're certainly not classics.
Ergh, don't talk to me about semiotics! Its so difficult to de-construct all your imagery to try and see every possible meaning that could be implied from it. Some people make a lot of money assessing the semiotics for ad agencies.
One good example are the old wonder bra adverts, "or are you pleased to see me"., but I digress.
